WSV Blog: Still sucking, but less

Wuppertal is still struggling from bankruptcy, and the new squad hasn’t really grown together yet. At least they don’t totally suck, having moved up the table into semi-respectable status. (To be fully respectable, they would have to have about 33 points and be in 1st). Instead, they trail SV Hönnepel-Niedermörmter, whose only claim to fame is it’s perhaps the longest name in German football. Oh yes, and they have a couple failed nuclear reactors or something like that. (WSV lost the match 0-1 away, which they should have won, but wasted their chances like wussies). Aside from WSV, the only known club is Schwarz-Weiss Essen, who have groveled in obscurity for decades after their shining moment in 1959, when they beat Borussia Neunkirchen (another club that’s emblem should be on the side of a milk carton for having “disappeared”) for the DFB Cup.

There are some signs that WSV is at least doing well in the financial reorganization. And usually they bring around 500-800 fans to away matches, which is usually way more than the home sides are used to seeing.
